My somewhat inflamatory column on a charter school application that got turned down in Albany is in The Post today.

I’m already getting barrels of hatemail for bringing up the race issue here, but it’s an angle that should not be ignored.

This Albany school is a perfect example of pushback against the charter school movement by the teachers unions — pushback that is being aided by middle-class, white parents who fear that these schools, which largely serve minorities, are taking away from their kids.

It’s an understandable, but unfounded, fear.

More later though, since Rome beckons.
